As soon as the fairy tale drama "Heavy Purple" was broadcast, it was on the hot search.
Some people like the ignorant and cute heroine played by Yang Chao, some people are addicted to the appearance of the "immortal master", and many people knock on this pair of master-apprentice CPs.
Soon, the keen audience captured a trace of familiarity and couldn't help but associate this drama with "Flower Thousand Bones".
Both dramas are "master-apprentice forbidden love", both are stories of heroines with miserable lives who were redeemed by their masters, but because of love, they cannot be completely blackened, and they do not hesitate to destroy their lives.
"Flower Thousand Bones" was broadcast in 2015, directly creating a ratings miracle that year, and even won the title of "drama king". Zhao Liying and Huo Jianhua, who starred in this TV series, have become the top of fairy dramas.
Now 8 years have passed, although all kinds of fairytale-themed TV series have emerged one after another, few have such an impact as "Flower Thousand Bones". The actors who have played wonderful roles in "Flower Thousand Bones" are also in very different situations.
1. Hua Qianbone & Zhao Liying
Although Zhao Liying has already made a small hit with "The Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Shanshan to Eat" before starring in "Flower Thousand Bones", attracting a group of fans, she is still not as famous as other stars.
But when the producers of "Flower Thousand Bones" looked for the heroine, the first thing that came to mind was Zhao Liying. Even though she was rejected by Zhao Liying's agent many times, the producer still managed to meet Zhao Liying herself and invited her to play the heroine in person.
Zhao Liying was born in poverty, only technical secondary school education, because she participated in Feng Xiaogang's draft in 2006 and entered the entertainment industry, ran for 5 years to become a group actor with lines, and slowly got the opportunity to play supporting roles.
The road of actor, Zhao Liying is extremely difficult, but there is always a strength in her heart to support her. The producer is fancy to Zhao Liying's strength, and she must play the heroine.
Sure enough, Zhao Liying created the role of Hua Qianbone extremely successfully, and her Weibo rose by 30 million fans overnight. After "Flower Thousand Bones", more famous directors and editors personally worked to tailor "The Legend of Chu Qiao" for Zhao Liying, laying the foundation for Zhao Liying's big hostess in film and television dramas.
But Zhao Liying did not stop moving, she continued to break through the upper limit of her acting skills, starred in Sheng Minglan in the drama "Do You Know", and directly won a number of Best Actress awards.
Since then, Zhao Liying has become a double guarantee of word of mouth and ratings.
When they were working hard, Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng also fell in love for a long time, and directly entered the marriage after the completion of "Do You Know". However, even if the two conceived a child together in marriage, it could not prevent the end of this marriage, and the two broke up peacefully in less than 3 years.
After the divorce, Zhao Liying still made rapid progress in her career, and her two transformation works, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Half Summer in the Wind", have maintained high popularity as soon as they were launched, and since then she has become a double guarantee of film and television drama traffic and acting skills.
I originally thought that "Flower Thousand Bones" would be Zhao Liying's peak, but now it seems that "Flower Thousand Bones" is actually Zhao Liying's starting point.
2. Bai Zi painting & Huo Jianhua
Huo Jianhua, who plays the painting of Bai Zihua, the master of Flower Thousand Bones, is known as the "male god in ancient costume", and he can completely hold the role even if he appears without makeup, but his road after "Flower Thousand Bones" is not very smooth.
When "Flower Thousand Bones" was broadcast, Huo Jianhua's "Shangxian" image of white clothes and sword eyebrows and stars had countless fans. In "Flower Thousand Bones", his master-apprentice sadomasochism with the heroine also poked the audience's tears, and the double blessing of acting skills and appearance made him shine.
However, to everyone's expectations, not long after Huo Jianhua became popular, he publicly confessed Lin Xinru on Weibo, and held a wedding 2 months later.
Huo Jianhua's fans were shocked and disappointed, shocked because the male god in ancient costume was actually married, and disappointed because fans felt that Lin Xinru was not worthy of Huo Jianhua.
Lin Xinru's popularity is not very good, she and Lin Zhiying, Su Youpeng have had scandals, and her speech on a variety show has also been criticized.
And Huo Jianhua only had one relationship, no other scandals, and it was the peak of his career at that time, and fans cried bitterly after seeing him expose his relationship.
But Huo Jianhuayi was not affected by the outside world at all, and married Lin Xinru two months later. Strange to say, Huo Jianhua's career soon faded after marriage.
After marriage, he starred in the Qianlong Emperor in "The Legend of Ruyi", which played the sensitivity and suspicion of the Qianlong Emperor and his desperate dedication. It's a pity that the audience was too deep into the play, and once there was no distinction between people and plays, which made Huo Jianhua's reputation plummet.
After that, other new dramas starring Huo Jianhua also received mediocre responses, plus he lost many fans after marrying Lin Xinru, and he gradually "withdrew" from the entertainment industry.
Some people lament that Huo Jianhua's fame plummeted when he married Lin Xinru, and if he concentrated on his career, he should now be in the same position as Hu Ge.
But for Huo Jianhua, he accompanies his daughter and wife at home and enjoys the warmth of the family, how is this not a gain?
3. Kill Que Mo & Marco "Flower Thousand Bones"
The killing of Yan Mo in the original work is a very difficult character to restore in film and television dramas, not only needs to show the domineering of the demon lord, but also enchanting and charming, and also shows the crazy side when protecting Hua Qianbone. In the end, the crew scooped out the 24-year-old Marco to play the role.
In fact, Marco has been in the industry for longer than Zhao Liying.
When he was only 9 years old, he played the teenager Puyi in the historical drama "Sun Yat-sen", and at the age of 14, he made a cameo appearance as Xiaoxue's fake boyfriend "Wild Boy" in "Family with Children", but he was never popular.
Until 2014, the agency he signed with filmed "Flower Thousand Bones", and took a fancy to Marco's indistinguishable temperament, so he gave him the role of killing Que Mo.
Marco also seized this opportunity, carefully figured it out, carefully designed various details, and quickly came out of the circle with this role. After becoming famous, Marco continued to play variety shows, but he was soon eaten back by fame.
In a variety show "Golden Route", because he pushed a newcomer actress, he was attacked by netizens, and his reputation was seriously affected.
In addition, although Marco took on many of the male leads of the script, his works were not recognized by the audience, as if his life's acting skills were dedicated to killing his sister.
In this way, Marco's fame and resources plummeted, gradually lost fans, and even his initiative to expose the relationship did not attract anyone's attention.
Marco's lover Danni Wang is also an actor, 4 years older than Marco. The two met before "Flower Thousand Bones", but Danni Wang's acting path is more difficult, and fewer people pay attention to her.
In 2021, after marriage, Wang Danni gave birth to a son, and Mar has often posted family photos since then, looking like the years are quiet.
Nowadays, Marco has rarely seen the role played on the screen, and he has also begun to try live broadcasting. But after all, Marco's fame is not as good as other stars, and he himself is not a professional anchor, so he can only earn extra money.
Mar can fall from killing his sister at the top to the anchor with goods, which is embarrassing. However, although his career has stagnated, why is a happy family life not worthy of envy?
4. Xia Zixun & Jiang Xin
Jiang Xin has long been out of the circle with the role of Chinese concubine in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the meme of "a slut is hypocritical" is still full of connotations. But her role in this "Flower Thousand Bones" is a fairy painted by Bai Zi, which is far from Concubine Hua's flying and domineering.
After the broadcast of "Flower Thousand Bones", Jiang Xin's performance received a mediocre response, fortunately, she did not chase fame and fortune for success.
She is an actress completely because she loves acting, so there has been no love scandal or CP hype since her debut.
In 2016, "Ode to Joy" was broadcast, and Fan Shengmei, played by Jiang Xin, hit the audience's tears fiercely. Fan Shengmei in the play is vain and righteous, arrogant and inferior, and is constantly sucked by patriarchal families, shrouded in a layer of tragedy.
There is a scene where Fan Shengmei collapses and cries by the river, venting her helplessness and grievances, which makes people can't help but feel sorry for this girl. After watching it, some netizens bluntly said that Jiang Xin injected soul into this character.
After starring in Fan Shengmei, Jiang Xin's career has reached a new level, participating in many TV series successively, and contributing wonderful performances in "Merit" and "Xiaoshede".
Among them, Jiang Xin played the tiger mother in "Xiaoshede", and even played an anxious mother who longed for her children to get ahead. But Jiang Xin in life has actually been single, which shows that her acting skills have reached the point of pure youth.
Now Jiang Xin is about to run to four, but she is not panicked at all, and she has set herself a goal: she can still act at the age of 80.
5. Dongfang Yuqing & Zhang Danfeng
Zhang Danfeng debuted as early as 2001, but it was not until 2015 that he became a household name with "Flower Thousand Bones". Dongfang Yuqing, played by him, is personable and has a deep affection for Hua Qianbone, and finally died to save Hua Qianbone, and circled the fans of the big ticket.
After the broadcast of "Flower Thousand Bones", many resources came to the door and invited him to participate in the male protagonist. At this time, the love story of him and his wife Hong Xin was also picked up, and Zhang Danfeng took advantage of the popularity of "Flower Thousand Bones" to set up a good man character who loves his family.
In 2004, Zhang Danfeng and Hong Kong actor Hong Xin met because of the play. At that time, Hong Xin was ten years older than Zhang Danfeng, but in Hong Kong, she was as famous as Cai Shaofen and Li Jiaxin, and she was already a well-paid female star in Hong Kong.
It is a pity that Hong Xin's feelings are not smooth, and she became an unwed mother when she met someone, until she met Zhang Danfeng's passionate courtship that she once again believed that love entered the palace of marriage.
There is another version of the story where Zhang Danfeng was just a penniless poor boy when he met Hong Xin, and he couldn't even afford an air conditioner. But he also attaches great importance to his face as a man, and does not want others to say that he eats soft rice, so that Hong Xin has to take a taxi to pick him up at the airport, and he has to reduce the quality of life to live a "poor life".
When Hong Xin and Zhang Danfeng got married, they were also dissuaded by a group of friends, but Hong Xin had a deep affection for Zhang Danfeng and longed for a happy family, and finally resolutely entered the marriage.
After marriage, Hong Xin introduced Zhang Danfeng to a lot of resources, and took the opportunity to quit the entertainment industry to take care of the family. Zhang Danfeng also worked hard, but he was never as popular as Hong Xin.
Zhang Danfeng finally reached the peak of his career because of "Flower Thousand Bones", but in 2019 he was revealed to have cheated on his agent Bi Ying. His personality collapsed in an instant, and the favorability established by Dongfang Yuqing also collapsed.
Everyone shouted that Hong Xin was divorced, but no one knew what Hong Xin thought, not only quickly forgave Zhang Danfeng's cheating, but also pulled Zhang Danfeng to continue to brush the character of a good man who loves his family.
Zhang Danfeng also obediently apologized, admitted his mistake, and said that he returned to his family and cut off contact with his agent, but his resources could never return to their peak.
I thought that Zhang Dan Summit would learn a lesson and act wholeheartedly, but unexpectedly it was exposed to a melon in December 2022. It turned out that he and the agent Bi Ying had never been broken, but the relationship was more hidden.
Bi Ying not only still came forward to connect brand resources with Zhang Danfeng, but also asked the brand to book a suite when he traveled. After the event, the brand side made a payment, and the account she gave was still her own.
In other words, Zhang Danfeng returned to his family on the surface, but in fact, he has been secretly Chen Cang, and even the family's money is in Bi Ying's hands. As soon as the news came out, Zhang Danfeng's audience popularity was even more defeated, and no director was willing to use him.
If Zhang Danfeng had not cheated on him, or had returned to his family to sink his heart into honing his acting skills and working hard, he would not have fallen to such a point.
6. Neon Sky & Li Chun
Li Chun, who starred in the neon sky, actually had a relatively high starting point in the entertainment industry, and participated in Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen" when she was in her sophomore year.
Later, he also played with Chen Daoming and Gong Li in Zhang Yimou's "Return".
When I first got involved in the entertainment industry, I cooperated with famous directors, and the future is bright no matter how you look at it. But unexpectedly, the owner of the agency she signed with later fell out with Zhang Yimou, and even she was snubbed, and there was no drama to film for several years.
Li Chun decided to break his tail to survive, sold his house to pay liquidated damages, and only then regained his freedom. But Li Chun's bad luck is not over.
In 2014, Li Chun became friends with Tong Liya because of acting. However, not long after, someone took a photo of "Chen Sicheng helping Li Chun".
Despite clarifications from all three parties, Li Chun's career was still deeply hit by the scandal. It was not until the broadcast of "Flower Thousand Bones" that Li Chun's role as the villain Neon Man Tian finally gained attention.
But since then, she has also become a "scheming female professional" in film and television dramas.
Li Chun's most famous scheming female role is Concubine Wei Wan in "The Legend of Ruyi".
As the number one female villain in the play, she started from a humble palace maid, exhausted all means, and finally became the imperial concubine of the favored sixth palace. But netizens also liked the tenacious side of this role in the end, laughingly calling Concubine Jiao "the strongest worker in the harem".
In order to create this role well, Li Chun did not dare to make a sound when his arm was injured during filming, and he endured the pain to complete the shooting.
Fortunately, Li Chun's efforts were worth it, and later she starred in the movies "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Psychologist", and the TV series "Airborne Blade", "Qing Yu Nian" and "New World", and her fame and popularity are constantly rising.
During this period, Li Chun still received a lot of attacks. Some people have fired her and Li Yifeng's CP, and some people maliciously speculated about her tattoo of A of Spades, but they were all countered by her one by one.
Recently, someone took a photo of Li Chun and singer Ma Wei holding hands and hugging intimately, the two were in the same car, talking and laughing, and sweetness almost overflowed the screen.
Li Chun did not respond to this revelation, but perhaps this is the best response, wishing Li Chun to harvest his happiness as soon as possible.
7. Sugar Treasure & Anyue Creek
Sugar Bao is also an unpleasant character in "Flower Thousand Bones", finally cultivated from a spirit worm to a daughter's body, and had a lover, but was killed by a palm from the sky.
But this did not prevent An Xiyue, who played Sugar Bao, from attracting the audience's love, and people immediately remembered this cute, cute, lively and flexible girl.
After "Flower Thousand Bones", An Xiyue starred in Simba Snake in "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and directly "robbed men" with Yang Mi.
Although An Xiyue does not have many roles in this drama, it allows people to see her talent and aura. So, An Xiyue turned around and starred as the heroine, starring in "Whirlwind Girl Season 2" and "Shudder, Abe!" 》。
The protagonists of these two dramas have completely different personalities, the whirlwind girl Qi Baicao has a tenacious and unyielding personality, and Abe is a middle two alien who traveled to Earth, but An Yuexi has successfully interpreted the essence.
As a member of the entertainment industry, no one can escape the eyes of gossip, but An Xiyue, who has debuted so far, has never been hyped. It turned out that An Xiyue got married as soon as she graduated from university, and her husband was her college classmate.
But An Xiyue has always separated work and life, and her husband is willing to be the man behind her, so her career has been smooth sailing.
Now An Xiyue in addition to filming, sharing daily clothes on her social platform, looking at her face full of collagen, it is hard to believe that this is a woman over thirty years old.
8. Meng Xuanlang & Xu Haiqiao
Xu Haiqiao was 32 years old when he starred in "Flower Thousand Bones" as the personable Prince of Xishu, but his age seems to have been frozen by time, and he does not show old age at all.
After Xu Haiqiao starred in "Flower Thousand Bones", he also became popular with his affectionate character, but his subsequent works received mediocre responses and did not arouse many splashes.
It wasn't until 2022 that he became Liu Yifei's "scumbag ex-husband" that people remembered him again.
In 2021, Xu Haiqiao received an invitation from the crew of "Menghualu" to play Ouyang Xu, who is unscrupulous for fame and fortune. At the beginning, Xu Haiqiao was very resistant to this role, feeling that it was not worth being scolded for this role.
But after hearing that the heroine was Liu Yifei, he immediately agreed, and in order to play this role steadily, he also took the initiative to reduce his salary.
Sure enough, "Menghualu" became popular after it was broadcast, and Xu Haiqiao also bore a lot of "infamy" because of Ouyang Xu's scumbag man.
But Xu Haiqiao was not only not angry, but also complained about Ouyang Xu with netizens, and even called himself "ex-husband" and interacted with netizens happily.
Soon, his participation in "Canglan Decision" was also broadcast, and it became another hit.
Xu Haiqiao once again starred as the villain, his sometimes fairy air in the play, sometimes also positive and evil, the costume style is too high, and netizens can't stop it.
Although Xu Haiqiao is a villain in the popular drama, he has gradually found a style that suits him.
I hope that he will gain attention in his future works and take his career to the next level. If it weren't for the contrast between the broadcast of "Heavy Purple", everyone would not have felt that "Flower Thousand Bones" was already a fairy drama 8 years ago.
Today's film and television industry, driven by capital, has also become a "assembly processing line", seeing a drama become popular, it immediately followed the trend to shoot similar TV series. However, the birth of a blockbuster requires both the efforts of the main creative team and luck.
The actors who are popular film and television dramas cannot rely on only one drama to maintain their popularity, and in the end, they still have to break out of their own world with hard work and strength.
